You have Asperger's Syndrome? I never would've guessed, looking at your posts and everything.

I suppose being able to fluently speak two languages kind of IS special, though.

Really? Well, I never thought you were 12 either until you mentioned it. Guess we're even.

I'd say it's really special, especially at your age. Really, how many 12-year-olds do you know who are bilingual, especially with the languages you know? From what I've gathered from your posts, you're English-born, and have no Korean in you (correct me if I'm wrong), so it's really impressive. I don't even know how long you've lived in South Korea, but I'm guessing a good few years. In which case, that is just as amazing (though it's still really cool if you were born there and pretty much grew up in Korea).

Can't remember, did I mention I have hyperlexia, which means I was pretty much born to read? If not, there you go.

My voice is pretty low, but not low enough to sound like a boy's. Also, I truthfully don't really behave like either a "girly-girl" or a tomboy. I'm really...just there, I guess? I truthfully am not sure what the term is.

I'm in that category too. I do like my girly things at times (I like pink and stuffed animals and cute things), but I do like my guy things as well (video games and the like except sports, sometimes). It's kinda weird, though I guess I just associate it with being a nerd or something.

I cannot play sports...

*tries to think of moar unique things* Well, I watch violence without batting an eye and I hide behind things when there's vomit or bugs around. That classifies as "weird", I think.

Ermm, I'm not that unique but I can twirl my pen (anything cylinder-shaped and decent sized I can twirl), I can spin a hat with one finger ^_^
I can do the asian accent, maybe because I am asian.
I can do that weird thing you do with your tongue where there are 3 wavey bits..
Ohh and I can move my middle finger from side to side fluently ;3
OH, and I am double jointed in all my fingers and make it bent

I have this kind of ability where I can catch onto things really quick, like musical instruments/sports/new hobbies etc. When I really put my heart into something I tend to advance quickly and go past expectations

Not that weird, really. The violence we see in movies is all just fake blood put together. We can tolerate that. Most people will faint at the sight of real blood even though they may sit stoic-like while watching Saw. I don't mind violence much anymore, but I still don't like seeing blood at times. Same with vomit.

Bugs, however, I take a weird interest with. Anytime I see a bug, if there's something interesting about it, I'll watch that bug crawl around because gosh-darn-it BUGS. Same with spiders, though I will back off if the spider gets close.

Would that mean that you were destined to read, that you're actually extremely good at reading, or that you really like reading?

I wish I could have that... I'm not good at reading and comprehending stuff. ):

Not so much "destined" as it is "knowing". Being a hyperlexic literally means you can actually comprehend the reading skill before the age of five. We're not talking about repeating everything you hear, no. You have to actually be reading written sentences by yourself, and (usually) not having heard it before. Hyperlexics are known to read good-sized books before kindergarten because their reading level is higher than average. My parents actually thought I was a genius because of it. Mom found this out when she listened to me reading a book on the Solar System by myself word-for-word. Yeah, it's been read to me before, but I could actually read it completely with hardly a mess-up, as well as other books I hadn't read yet. However, I wasn't diagnosed with it until after my fourth brother was diagnosed with autism and my mom brought it up, and this was when I was in junior high, I believe.
